The stock air filter sucks. Get rid of it and get a pro-flow system. It's around 100 bucks, but it's well worth it. And I've noticed the plastic chain roller wears out really fast and starts to drag on the swing arm. You can get a long plastic chain slider than will solve the problem (Check the dirt wheels ads) or an Amp link. (I've seen mixed reviews from the amp link)
And be carefull about who you let ride it.

have fun! -Josh

You will learn about the Banshee real quick...It likes attention....If you overlook something...It lets you know real quick.

Just take your time with it....Have patience and take the time for regular maintenance.

Oil the chain, keep the bolts tight, clean the filter and ride it.

Good luck with the banshee

If you can crank it.. you got it. Keep all the bolts and screws tight.. I'm having problems with mine.. the expansion chamber already fell off.. haha. Keep the chain greased and all the other maintnaince (however it's spelled) and give it h*ll. Have fun, don't wreck (too many times) Later,
